In Stewardship Leadership for Stinkin’ Accountants, Eric delivers a refreshing and deeply practical guide for finance leaders who want to move beyond technical mastery to true stewardship leadership. Drawing on decades of hard-won experience, Eric reframes the CFO role as one that exists primarily for the benefit of the organization, the team, and the broader mission, exactly the shift from ownership to stewardship that I explore in The Gift of Lift. With humility, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, he walks readers through the essentials of character, communication, protection, strategy, collaboration, and transformation, showing how “stinkin’ accountants” can provide profound value when they embrace both the weight and the opportunities of their position. Whether you are a sitting CFO, aspiring to the role, or simply work alongside one, this book will equip you to lead with greater intentionality, clarity, and lasting impact. I highly recommend it.
